you've been worried about the deficit. what do you say to this argument that trying to reduce the deficits in europe has been a disaster? it's slowed growth, slowed tax reeve news and increased the deficit? >> let me just say i am not in favor of reducing the deficit now. the short term i am not in favor of reducing the deficit. but i do think there have to be some longer-term plans that give the financial markets some degree of confidence that we're not just going to blow apart. i think this is something on the longer term which is what bowles-simpson was all about, something which i favored totally. so i think that was a combination of including longer-term control over some of our big expenditures, particularly in health care. and that is something we have to do. i think the president could get some things if, in fact, he addressed some of these longer term issues but he walked away from that and there's no confidence that he really cares about it. >> let's talk about common -- noneconomic things. i would have thought y

you addressed it today in terms of trust deficit, you said that was unacceptable. you would give straight answers and be blunt and candid. it is not a prerequisite to do that to be director of c.i.a. so i don't hold that as -- it would probably be a red flag if someone had that award and wanted your position. the kind of issues you have to deal with require straight talk, straight answers, and getting to the chase real quickly. you said it is the new jersey way, i accept that, it is bipartisan. governor christie exhibits the same kind of responses and has a pretty high approval rating. so we will go forward with taking you at your word. we will have the kind of relationship where we can have a blunt, straight forward, fully disclosed working relationship. i think it is critical for us to provide oversight, the ability for us to have the right kind of agencies so we know where each other is and move forward together in terms of what needs to be done to provide intelligence to that needs to be done to protect the american people. i wanted to say that. i want to follo

we all want to fix the deficit problem. there's no question. but i think when they have a chance to look at this bill and understand what we're really facing, i don't think we're going to have a problem there. >> sir, how is this different from the proposal of a year ago? >> did we have the pay freeze? [laughter] >> it's different. obviously we had two different versions. the house as i understood it had the attrition of the work force that's in this component. in the senate last time we had a combination of -- instead of for every three positions that came open, only filling one. we had two and a combination of overall pay freeze across the federal government, for over a year. this is different. it combines both so we're on the same page. and we have the house proposal on the attrition and we've also added congressional pay freeze on it instead of the entire civilian work force. >> what makes you think that this time around, that speaker boehner's going to take up this proposal? >> i >> i would defer to others here and the chairman but there's
